“We are really excited that Kevin has decided to join our team. His
leadership and experience will enable CyrusOne to provide our Fortune
1000 customers with the economic, environmental and modularity benefits
that historically were only available to ‘webscale’ companies,” said
Gary Wojtaszek, President of CyrusOne. “As we build out our facilities
and launch new projects like our recent Phoenix acquisition, Kevin will
provide the insight necessary to ensure CyrusOne incorporates the latest
data center design technologies in the next phase of our development
plans.”

Before working for Microsoft as their General Manager, Data Center
Services, Timmons was the VP of Operations at Yahoo! and the Director of
Operations at GeoCities. At Microsoft, Timmons was primarily responsible
for defining, communicating and executing the company’s world-renowned
data center strategy, achieving impressive financial returns through
many of his modular design techniques as well as achieving considerable
improvements in lowering the company’s carbon footprint by implementing
many “green” initiatives across a data center platform that has
operations in 10 countries.

“I am excited to be joining an organization like CyrusOne which
currently is a hidden secret in the data center industry,” said Kevin
Timmons, Chief Technology Officer, CyrusOne. “After spending a
considerable amount of time understanding the company’s strategy and
customer-centric focus, I believe that we have a tremendous opportunity
for growth and disruption of the datacenter landscape. This is a unique
opportunity to help define and transform an industry that is decades
behind the work that has been going on in the web community.”

In addition to his datacenter expertise, Kevin has a proven track record
building and retaining high-performing teams,” continued Wojtaszek.
“Kevin will be instrumental in helping us expand our footprint and
deliver top-notch customer service.”
